Egan’s new look featured a thick handlebar moustache, fake peeling skin, and thick glasses. While he didn’t specify what he was working on, another photo posted afterwards showed him in the same costume, posing with director Wei-Ling Chang, who held up a clapperboard listing the project as “Cult.”

Egan moved to Los Angeles in 2003, and appeared in action-fantasy film Eragon three years later. He had a small role in Resident Evil: Extinction in 2007 but the biggest movie of his career came in 2010 when he starred alongside Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave and Gael Garcia Bernal in blockbuster romantic comedy Letters to Juliet.

Most recently, he starred in Syfy’s apocalyptic fantasy series Dominion.
